Providing lightweight convenience for hikers, paddlers, bicyclists, or backpackers, the 28-ounce Katadyn Exstream XR Purifier Bottle is a fill-and-go water bottle that purifies water as you drink from it. Katadyn's Exstream purifiers are the only EPA-registered purification bottles that remove all types of organisms, including cysts, bacteria, and viruses, and the Exstream XR Purifier Bottle combines a purifier and water bottle into a single unit, eliminating the need for hoses or separate containers. No pumping is required and there's no need to allow time for purification to occur.
The secret is a three-step purification system, all housed within the bottle. First, a carbon pre-filter removes particulates and reduces unpleasant tastes and odors, ensuring fresh-tasting water. Next, a cyst filter eliminates cysts, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Finally, water passes through a ViruStat microbial water purification cartridge, which kills all waterborne bacteria and viruses. The entire process takes place in the brief moment when you squeeze the bottle and drink from the hands-free, leak-proof bite valve.
The bottle fits conveniently in standard water bottle holders, and an integrated carry loop allows for easy attachment to backpacks or kayaks. The replaceable cartridge produces up to 26 gallons of drinking water, depending on the quality of the water source.

5.0 out of 5 stars
unless you like the taste of V. cholerae or E. coli...,
By Javier Cisse "chadwick G" (Decatur, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Katadyn Exstream XR Water Purifier Bottle (Sports)
this is a good product.
It effectively cleans water of microbiological contaminants (including viruses) through a layered filtration system and iodine-releasing resin (and among the only EPA certified bottles to do it). It is not heavy and leaves the water with a slight iodine taste (much more subtle than using iodine tablets). Each filtration system, which screws into the inside of the water bottle, lasts about 26 gallons (about 100 liters) after which you have to replace it, costing about US$22. I have been using the bottle in rural peru and have had no problems. I would recommend this product for anyone venturing into areas with unknown water sanitation, all you need is the bottle and a puddle, stream, river, etc. I don't know its results against pesticides, arsenic, lead, etc. but for short term use this is a great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I wouldn't travel without it,
By Khumbu Trekker (Sierras Nevada Mountains, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Katadyn Exstream XR Water Purifier Bottle (Sports)
I'm extremely fussy about the taste of water. I used the Katadyn Exstream purifier bottle for a month while trekking to Everest Base Camp in Nepal, and I never tasted iodine. I never got sick, either. High altitude travel requires constant hydration to prevent altitude sickness. I acclimatized well and was able to stay hydrated because I had drinkable water available at all times. My only complaint is that it didn't quite deliver the volume I'd have liked for acclimatization purposes, but for regular travel it would be fine. I'd use it again in a heartbeat, and I'll never travel to a third world country without it.
[Update] I returned to the Everest region in March 2009 and used this filter bottle again. Unfortunately, it froze at the higher elevations, despite the fact that I was carrying it in the crook of my arm against my body. Once frozen, it renders the reliability of the filter useless. I had to use iodine tablets for the remainder of the trip. It has to be extremely cold for this to happen (it was 18F inside my lodge room, so obviously much colder in the windy conditions outside). That's the only drawback, and I intend to try it a third time when I return to the Himalayas.

So worth it!,

This review is from: Katadyn Exstream XR Water Purifier Bottle (Sports)
My husband and I trekked all over Morocco, and there were certainly times when bottled water was not available. This was a life-saver; neither of us got sick. We were constantly filling the bottle up from questionable sources. The only down-side is that you must "push" the water through the filter by squeezing on the bottle... hard. Not so bad if you only want a sip or two at a time. You do need to have some patience and strength to operate the bottle, but really, isn't clean water worth it?
